Many Zoologists consider the Spiroglyphus to be an 

 Annulose animal allied to Serpiila, but of this there is no 

 positive proof. The young animal, when first hatched, is 

 covered with an ovate, regular shell, consisting of a whorl 

 and a half; it soon attaches itself to the surface of some 

 stone or other shell, in which it forms a canal, at first 

 shallow, but afterwards deeper. 



Genus TENAGODA, Guettard. 



Foot with the end truncate and circular. 



Operculum cyrindrical, formed of a horny lamina, 

 rolled spirally, about five times, on its axis. 



Shell tubular, cylindrical, irregularly twisted ; apex 

 subspiral, whorls with an articulated fissure extending 

 along the upper part ; aperture circular.
